Bosch QuietCast Front Ceramic Brake Pads BC1363 — Front Axle Set, Low Dust & Quiet Stopping

Built from Bosch's decades of braking experience, the QuietCast BC1363 set combines a ceramic friction formulation with OE-style multilayer rubber-core shims and powder-coated backing plates to deliver consistent stopping feel and reduced noise across a wide range of trucks and SUVs. Each kit supplies pads for one axle (two wheels) and includes hardware where applicable plus synthetic lubricant to improve slider performance and reduce sticking.

How do these pads reduce brake noise and vibration?

Noise suppression is engineered into the pad assembly, not added afterward. Bosch integrates OE-style multilayer rubber core shims that bond tightly to the steel backing, damping vibrations that cause squeal and chatter.

• Molded Shim Technology (MST) for secure rubber-to-steel adhesion
• Multilayer shims that absorb and isolate vibration
• Precision chamfers and slots to minimize harsh contact points

What kind of stopping performance and dust levels can I expect?

The proprietary ceramic friction material is formulated to provide steady, predictable stopping across varied temperatures while generating less airborne brake dust than many semi-metallic pads. This helps keep wheels cleaner without sacrificing braking consistency.

• Ceramic compound tuned for consistent deceleration and pedal feel
• Lower dust generation for cleaner wheel appearance
• Engineered to balance fade resistance and initial bite

Will these pads resist corrosion and fit my vehicle reliably?

Back plates are powder-coated to protect against rust and the pads feature OE-style slotting and chamfers to match factory fit and function. Always verify vehicle fitment using your VIN or the fit checker before purchase, as trim level and engine options can affect compatibility.

• Powder-coated backing plates for improved longevity in wet climates
• OE-style slots and chamfers for precise pad-to-rotor seating
• Direct-fit design for specified front-axle applications—includes hardware where supplied

How easy is installation and what comes with the kit?

The BC1363 set is supplied ready for installation: pads for one axle plus any required hardware and a small sachet of synthetic lubricant to reduce friction where pads slide. Proper installation follows standard brake service procedures and torque specifications for your vehicle.

• One axle worth of front brake pads (two wheels)
• Hardware kit included when applicable for a complete install
• Synthetic lubricant to improve slider movement and reduce noise

Who is this for? Drivers of compatible Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC trucks and SUVs who want an OE-style ceramic pad with quieter operation, reduced wheel dust, and improved corrosion protection will find the Bosch QuietCast BC1363 well suited to everyday and towing use. It's targeted at owners seeking a straightforward direct-fit replacement that prioritizes low noise and reliable stopping performance without the tradeoffs of excessive dust or premature rust.
